Chapter 458: Gossip
In the bustling atmosphere of the office, murmurs of the day’s events drifted between the small cubicles. A woman leaned over to catch the attention of her colleague, a glint of curiosity in her eyes as she heard him talk," Did you hear about the dressing down everyone got this morning?"
"Gosh. No. What happened? I’ve been curious all morning. Mr Rosette was black as thunder and I’ve never seen that snooty Miss Lia so red in the face. She looked as if she would cry."
"She deserved it." the man said while the woman snorted," Of course she deserves it. She has no manners, or kindness or any human quality for that matter! I’ve been so tired of her hypocrisy all the time. And how it was overlooked everytime because she is good at her job! She’s been on a power trip for so long!"
The man almost laughed at the venom in his colleague’s voice and answered," Well, it seems her power trip backfired on her. You know the new designs that the big boss sent it for manufacturing? She thought that she could make changes to the original order. When the supplier suggested a cheaper alternative, she actually purchased it. And then, even sent it to the manufacturing unit."
There was a moment of silence as the entire team heard the words before another woman muttered," It seems she wants to destroy herself! Why would she do something like this without permission from the higher ups? Is she getting a commission or something from the supplier? Doesn’t she know we have strict instructions to follow the orders to the tee?"
The man shook his head," Oh please. That past could have been corrected. But she actually had the guts to argue about this matter with Miss Emma."
A collective gasp echoed among the few gossiping coworkers. Everyone knew that Emma had been brought in by Sebastian Frost himself.
"Arguing with Miss Emma? That’s like poking a sleeping lioness. Does Miss Lia have a death wish or something?"
The man nodded gravely, a somber expression crossing his features. "Exactly. You know how important it is to remain on Miss Emma’s good side. She’s practically the right-hand woman to Mr. Frost, and if rumors are to be believed, she might even be the future Mrs. Frost."
